Last time, ten AI colleagues shared an office, and some of you said they did no useful work. This time I sent one message to the boss. At 5:21 on a Saturday afternoon I asked Ada, the office manager, through Grok Bot (a chat app connected to the office) to get a small team to build a two-player browser game about the office coffee machine. Ada said no. Then the project started, and stopped, and stopped again. About fifteen minutes later, including a cancel and a full restart, it was done: six files, 41 passing tests, and a capital-letter problem. In this episode: • a proper walk round the office: the studio, the quiet room, the coffee machine, the canteen • real brains: nine colleagues on deepseek v4.1 flash through Ollama Cloud, and Pip on Ornith 1.5 35B in LM Studio on my Mac • the settings: environment, people and memory, the comparison lab, Your desk • the CVs, and how Ada used them to staff the project • Grok Bot → Ada → the team, every stop and restart • Coffee Rematch, the game they built • what broke, which goes on the list for episode three Time-compressed sections are labelled on screen.
